some are suggesting that george w. bush would go down as a terrible president. i was one of those. i don't understand why the democrats aren't excited or even frantic. the last time i looked the republican congress has shut down the country in the last three and a half years. i think election day will answer this question. lou writes i was excited about electing obama because he ran on the platform of providing universal health care. what we ended up with was more money and power going to the insurance giants with the mandate. he caved on the biggest issue of our time. it's hard to get excited about that. and any in atlanta writes, hey, democrat here, i'm more excited to vote this year than i was in 2008. if you want to read more on this, go to the blog, cnn.com/caffertyfile or through our post on the "the situation room" facebook page. wolf. >>> jack, thank you. >>> and you're in "the situation room." happening now there are new concerns that syria's chemical weapons stockpiles could fall into the wrong hands. just ahead we're getting new information from a top u.s. intelligence o

w. i think to me it's a distraction. governor romney can make that case from the standpoint of the politics of it. i'm not going to weigh-in on that. i think if you look at the pressure that governor romney is getting on his tax returns and you look at the lack of pressure president obama's had on a whole series of things personal to him that he's still refused to include his transcripts and a whole list of other things, it's again a double standard. and i think if president obama wants to set record for transparency, he should be a lot more transparent as a result. >> you have not been mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate for mitt romney. why do you think you haven't been vetted? >> oh, i think i've probably been pretty well vetted. >> you think you have? >> i think they know more about me than just anybody. and, you know, look, when you're in the ring and slugging away, they know everything about us. and, you know, we have a pretty good idea of what they're about too. i
